Allow me to gloat a bit

Average July temperature in Chicago: 69.4°
That's the average temperature in Chicago this July

July 31, 2009 Chicago Tribune

The average temperature in July this year was 69.4 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. That number is computed by adding the daily average high and average low and dividing by two. The average July temperature is 73.8 degrees.

That makes it:

• The coldest July since the recording station was moved from the lakefront in 1942.
• Part of a three-way tie -- with 1996 and 2000 -- for second place in logging the most July days with less-than-80-degree highs. Each had 14. July 1992 was tops with 18 days.


(Note: The polar ice caps are melting. I can feel it in the pools here in Illinois.)
